Centre-left?
What planet are on you on?
Hear hear!
(I thought I'll keep in the theme of politics)
Fresh, confident, calm and someone who can win.
People will vote for him.
Ideally the Tories need to be cutting managerial positions in the public services and freeing up cash for equipment and ground-level staff (which frankly cost less than managers anyway). What the public needs to accept is that there won't be any massive tax cuts if they really want public service improvement. Oh, and they also need to sort out their Immigration policy and Europe policy, because they are currently major sticking points after the Howard fascism era.
instead of being ruled by cocacola we'll be ruled by pepsi
i love how politics is going
:yes:
Now, do you want me to punch you with the left hand or the right hand?
Picking the left because it's weaker is hardly a mandate for having all your teeth knocked out.
I use the "double bind" with people all the time and it sickens me how well it usually works.
Welcome to today.
Oh well, if he does, it'll be the same as ever - same old shit, new face.
That's a good thing?
Just as Blair becomes unfashionable, the Tories go for his clone...
I said in the 90's when he was essentially a political messiah.
His exchanges with Labour couldn't have gone better for him. If he's truly sincere about this supposed new conservative approach, he will go far. Just unfortunate whenever i watch him speaking at question time i have to look at Davis' smug mug. Pity Cameron didn't punt him from the front bench, but i suppose he has to keep his enemies close.
The only circumstances which would prompt me vote for him would be radical change on the drugs front though. Without that, his politics don't hold any weight with me.
If he's as clever as some have hailed him to be, a strong focus on the environment and drugs liberalisation will result in a LOT of anti-tories VERY tempted to vote for him. However, we have yet to see just how bold he's going to be with this...wait and see :yes: .
I don’t know if I like his politics; what are his politics? I don’t really like him. He seems pretty arrogant and a bit fake. He seems pretty obvious in trying to shed his upper class traits. Maybe that’s because we’ve seen all that before with Blair. Ken Clarke would have been a far better choice.
LOL.
The illuminati at work perhaps?
I know what you said. Doesn't change the fact that just as Blair becomes a liability, the Tories go for ToneClone.
Don't you think people will say, well look what voting for a man of words but not substance got us last time? Don't you think that people can see through the spin, that the public is much more cynical now?
Modern mainstream politics leaves room for little else but words i'm afraid.
I KNEW it! Illuminati Bastards! :shocking:
Not sure its true that he's that much of a liability. Whilst polls are an inexact science they do seem to show that Labour scrape ahead with Blair as leader, whereas with Brown they do slightly worse.
Whilst Blair is not popular with Guardian leader writers I suspect he's still not a liability. the more left-wing labour voters will generally hold there nose and vote for him, because there is no real alternative. the more right-wing converts won't have been put off by the fact that he's on the right as that is the reason they voted for him.
And whilst I agree the public are more cynical on some things they still don't seem to be interested in looking at problems in depth or examining hard issues - so sound bites is what we get.
